FluidX™ AcoustiX™ Sample Tube - Labcyte® Echo® Qualified Consumable
The AcoustiX tube allows researchers to combine the benefits of FluidX 2D Coded Tubes and the Labcyte® Echo®, providing the drug discovery process with the robust assay data quality and an increase in compound consumption efficiency when compared with current, conventional methods.
Overview
- Acoustic dispense direct from the tube
- Assay robustness based on a higher sample integrity
- Compound saving vs. Conventional storage methods
- Faster turnaround time from request for compound to compound ready for assay
- Established benefits of 2D Coded Tubes vs. Plates which have to be fully thawed and unsealed to access one sample
- Combined technologies of 2D Coded Tubes and Acoustic Transfer

Key Features
Acoustic dispense direct from the tube
- Labcyte® Echo® Qualified Consumable
Secure Sample Storage and Tracking
- Unique and permanent 2D4 Quad Code laser-etched on tube base
- Barcode ensures a permanent link between sample and data
- FluidX 2D barcodes can be scanned and decoded without removing tubes from storage racks, enabling data to be associated with individual tubes
- FluidX tubes have been leak tested to ensure sample security
Screw Caps
- Non-silicone seal means the cap can never be overtightened
- Double-start thread engages in a maximum rotation of 180°, facilitating automation
